Shake!

Yvonne Roberts

If you weren't part of the sixties, read this. If you were, remind yourself. January 1967: Lily Tempest, seventeen, dreams of university, joining the middle classes, looking like Jane Asher. She and her three sisters have drifted into the seaside town of Fairport, along with their parents Doug and Melody. Melody's ambitions for her daughters are summed up in one word: marriage. Lily would rather die. Instead she goads her sisters into reaching for far more than they want for themselves - with comic but also dark and dangerous results. Lily begins to realise that within her family, honesty and duty, love and sex, fidelity and loyalty, are not what they seem.
